republicans picked up a win in the closely walked special election in tennessee.something for each party in the race but in the end, the winner of the race, a veteran and former army helicopter pilot, was able to win by nine points. it sounds like a lot but this is a deep red district where the former republican congressmen won by 22 points. this is a 13 point slide for republicans in trump territory. trump himself tried to help with the race. so did speaker johnson. they were able to win it but this is something when i talk to democratic sources, they say they were ecstatic about being within nine points and it expands the group of potentially vulnerablerepublicans. there are over 30 in the last midterm election who lost the race by 13 points or fewer. we will see what it means. it is not the same as a midterm but democrats like the enthusiasm from voters last night. geoff: lisa, thanks to you as always. ♪ geoff: new limits on federal student loans could dramatically reshape how the u.s. trains nurses and doctors. under the so-called one big beautiful bill act, p
